Kiwanis Club’s “Castle of Toys” makes holiday brighter for over 600 children here

The Kiwanis Club’s annual “Castle of Toys” program was again a robust success this year. On Saturday about a dozen Kiwanis elves, directed by the Jolly Old Gent himself, delivered over 600 baskets of toys to children here whose Christmases were made much brighter. Says Organizer Juli Dukett, the Christmas magic couldn’t have happened without the generosity of many here and the support of the local VFW Post 3120, which is Santa’s home away from home. With Santa above headed out from the VFW Post are some of the elves who delivered that day, all local teachers, Kathleen Fletcher, Noelle Casagrain, Danielle LaMere and Juli Dukett. (McClelland photo)
